Noe Valley Historic Home Tour Presented by The Victorian Alliance of SF

NOE VALLEY HISTORIC HOME TOUR

PRESENTED BY THE VICTORIAN ALLIANCE

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th, 2024

1 PM - 5 PM

Explore this unique neighborhood that has retained its vitality and experience how historic homes continue to remain an integral part of Noe Valley.

The Victorian Alliance of San Francisco (VASF) is hosting a historic home tour in Noe Valley. Visit seven unique historic homes on a self-guided tour and see how these homes are a part of the neighborhood's transformation into a new time in San Francisco. This tour is a rare opportunity to see the interiors of these beautiful houses.

Noe Valley has emerged as one of San Francisco’s most desirable neighborhoods, being dubbed as comfortable and family-friendly, and at the same time a center of creative intelligence within the Bay Area’s high-tech ethos. The tour will reveal contrasts with historical sites that served Noe Valley’s humble blue-collar and agricultural roots merged with added modernity to meet the needs of current residents.

The self-guided walking tour will showcase seven homes and, in addition, historical sites and legacy businesses in the community. They will reflect a variety of historic styles that were built or modified during different periods, some recently and others over 100 years old. VASF’s docents and Bay Area historians will be located throughout the tour sites to provide historical and architectural details about each home and what makes this neighborhood such a beloved place.

“This is a celebration of Noe Valley’s vibrant community and architecture, both past and present.

The Victorian Alliance of San Francisco is thrilled to be putting on this event,” according to VASF President, Joe Mallet.

This tour is educational, and cultural, and celebrates Noe Valley and its community. A portion of the proceeds from ticket prices may go to a Noe Valley neighborhood restoration project and the remainder will help the Victorian Alliance of San Francisco continue its mission to preserve historic buildings through its advocacy and education.
